How do I know if my child has dyslexia?

There are several signs and symptoms that are common in most children who have dyslexia:

The foremost being difficulty with Reading. Most children with dyslexia struggle with reading, including difficulty recognizing and decoding words and slow and laborious, non-fluent oral reading.

But there are more indicators that a child might have dyslexia, such as:

Difficulty with Spelling: Dyslexia can also affect a child's spelling ability, including difficulty recognizing the sounds in words and difficulty remembering the spelling of words.
Difficulty with Writing: Dyslexia can also impact a child's writing ability, including difficulty organizing and expressing their thoughts in writing and difficulty with grammar and punctuation.
Difficulty with Phonemic Awareness: Dyslexia can affect a child's ability to understand and manipulate the sounds in words, which is known as phonemic awareness.
Difficulty with Memory: Dyslexia can impact a child's ability to remember information, including difficulty with short-term memory and working memory.
Difficulty with Sequencing: Dyslexia can affect a child's ability to understand and remember the order of letters, numbers, and other information.
Difficulty with Directional Awareness: Dyslexia can impact a child's ability to recognize and remember left and right, which can affect their ability to read and write.
Reading accuracy: A child may read accurately, but he or she must spend a great deal more effort than another child who does not have dyslexia.
Dyslexia is often ‘unexpected’: there is often a disparity between a child’s superior intelligence and spoken vocabulary compared to h his reading and spelling

It's important to note that not all children with dyslexia will exhibit all of these symptoms, and some children may exhibit additional symptoms not listed here. Additionally, these symptoms may also be indicative of other learning challenges or disorders.
